Shopping Around Tokyo

June 28th, 2013

When you’ve been walking a lot for consecutive days, sneakers tend to call out to you. These are actually the same pair of sneakers I wore on my “Flying Without Wings” post, except here, I took the wings out. I bought them just a day before these photos were taken at the Adidas store in Shibuya. My feet were already so sore from all the walking so I just had to use them right away. Nothing beats a good pair of sneakers!

So what’s the theme of my outfit? Cool and casual–just the perfect get-up for a day of shopping around Tokyo. My mom, sister and I are quite the shopaholics so we’ve allotted time for shopping everyday. This day though, this day was special. We had nothing else on our itinerary but SHOPPING. Woot! You know what that means, right? I’ve got my battle gear on! Ready to shop ’til I drop!

The famous places to shop at while in Tokyo are Harajuku, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza and Omotesando. Here’s a photo dump all these places plus a few snapshots of fascinating people I was able to sneakily take photos of during my stay in Tokyo. I’ll be injecting a few photos of our food as well just to make you jealous. Har har!

This is the statue of Hachiko, a beloved dog in Japan who got famous for his loyalty to his owner. It’s said that everyday, for nine years, Hachiko waited in front of the Shibuya station for his owner to return. Awwww.

This guy on the other hand is waiting for someone else. LOL! Such a cool get-up!

How cute is this! Takeshita Street is located near Harajuku. It’s also known as Cat Street.

Wolfgang Puck’s Wolfgang Express is also located here so if you need a little break from all the Japanese food, you can give this restaurant a try.

The famous crepes!

Banana nutella crepe for me please!

I told you the stuff here are funky. Now, if this isn’t funky enough for you, I don’t know what is!

Just a few steps away from Takeshita Dori is Harajuki Street.

Aside from shopping, this is also a great place to go people watching. Look at her! I love her hair color and the contrast it makes with the flower crown she has on!

It’s easy to go crazy shopping at these stores! These are definitely much more my cup of tea than the stores over at Takeshita.

Something for the men out there.

For the artsy-fartsies.

Laforet has a great selection of both foreign and local high-street brands. Young fashionistas would love shopping here!

The new Tokyu Plaza.

Not too obvious that she loves hot pink, right?

I found this mall so cool!! No need for escalators! Although there are escalators on every other floor. This is Omotesando Hills.

Omotesando and Ginza are the best places to shop at for luxury brands.

Time for a little Ben & Jerry’s break!

I love her!

Back at Shibuya.

Shibuya 109–the best place to shop at for Japanese high-street brands.

Look at their hair! So jealous!

Shinjuku has the best department stores like Mitsukoshi, Takashimaya and Matsuya. They have a nice selection of luxury brands as well.

Here’s another photo of the Shibuya crossing. I remember when I first visited Japan years ago, I was so amazed to finally stand in front of this famous landmark. I can’t wait to visit you again! Tokyo, you will be missed.

Hi Cams! :) do you really tied your shoelace that way? right over left for the left foot and the other way on the other foot?By the way, generally speaking with all these fashion pieces around, what do you think best represents you and why? (Mr. & Ms. Chinatown 2013 Q&A hangover) hahaha

Enjoyed the photos! It’s great how your outfit still made you stand out. I love how your shoes are the statement piece of the entire ensemble. I’d also like to give you a high-five for your choice of top! I like the blue streaks- a subtle edge of artsy.

I enjoy reading this post. Feeling like I’m there too. :)
Its not obvious na you enjoy taking pictures of japanese fashionista. I love the style of the girl with purple head band.
Hope someday na mavisit din ang tokyo.

I just love how japanese people dresses they are so adorable, so kawaii yet so fabulous anyway just like to share my thought about the dog wahahaha and the man who looks like he is waiting for someone ahaha super laughtrip talaga they look so related ahaha

Hi Camille :)) I want to go to Japan too :) Btw, are you here in Manila na? i want to ask if you do ternos (filipiñana dress), the shoulder caps only? I want to have one kasi for our event in school. I just have no idea what to wear and where to buy kasi e :D. And if possible, how much would it cost me if i try to buy/design from you?
Thanks :*
Love lots :*

Wow what a nice trip you had around Tokyo! I’m Indonesian living in Japan and yeah those places are crazily addictive to visit again and again! <3 I love how you combined your outfit as usual, it looked so stunning and energetic at the same time!

As much as I love heels, once in a while you just need a good pair of sneakers ^-^
Wooah Toyko is surely the most stunning city in the world. I love the clash of modernity and tradition, the mix of cute and crazy and edgy.. *___*
I can’t wait to be in Tokyo myself. Thanks for sharing these great pictures!

WOW! just WOW! haha. very, very nice pictures. I learned a lot. LOL :))) I hope I could visit Japan someday, and by that time I also hope that I have the money to shop. HAHA. Thank you, Miss Camille! :)

It all looks like a very well planned cultural fashion sight-seeing short trip (^__^).
Was it a one day short trip? – Because this is actually on my to-do-list when i am back in Manila next year.
If you got any special travelling tips, let me know <3

Is Wolfgang Puck's Wolfgang Express a German restaurant? – pretty much sounds like one. I think it's quite funny to visit German restaurants in Asia (and i wonder if they would understand if you talk German to them ^3^).

OMG, I’m so jealous of you!!! Your outfits are always so stunning and amazing :) Plus, you can go to awesome places like Japan! Did you shop at 109? There are some AMAZING shops there – and they’re all on trend and so cool! Hope to see more pictures :)
